Adult ADHD | Trauma/ptsd | addiction | Culturally affirming therapy
You have tried and tried to do everything right, but life still doesn’t feel quite right.
Have you thought to yourself…
“People say I’m doing great, but I don’t feel it”
“I don’t know what I’m doing wrong and I’m exhausted from wondering what more I need to do to finally feel okay”
“I made real changes to get to where I am, but I feel confused, uneasy, or like I’m barely holding it together”
“I’m scared of slipping back into old patterns and falling apart”
You’ve done the best you could. I’m here to support you in understanding what’s keeping you stuck and experimenting different ways of living that feel more like you.
Hello there!
I’m Dr. Miji, clinical psychologist.
Therapy with me is like a gentle exploration of habits and beliefs that don’t feel right to you and honest investigation of what makes you keep returning to them. These familiar patterns that got you through difficult seasons of life were once helpful, so we’ll spend time understanding what they are trying to do for you now. I will help you to notice these patterns and to practice new ways of responding.
You’ve worked so hard and you feel like the life that you want is still out of reach. If I notice you being hard on yourself in session, I will gently point it out and help you see it from kinder eyes. What I see is you doing what you can to build the life that you want. Wanting a life that feels right to you is deeply human.
I will guide you to experiment with these insights and strategies beyond the therapy space while learning to be kind to yourself along the way.

How to get started
Step 1. Schedule a free 15-min consultation call
I hope to learn more about your reasons for seeking therapy and for you to learn more about me by asking questions. If it feels like a good fit for both of us, we will schedule an intake session during the call.
You might be interviewing several therapists—which you absolutely should—or you might want some time to think through our call. If that’s the case, you are welcome to reach out to me later if I am the right therapist for you.
Step 2. Attend the first appointment (intake)
You will receive an email from your secure client portal asking you to complete pre-intake paperwork, which will take about 20-30 minutes. This should be completed before your first appointment.
During the 60-minute intake, we will discuss your concerns and goals for therapy, sharing what I’m noticing, collaborating on the treatment plan, and logistics like frequency.
We will work together. You will gain insight into the patterns that no longer serve you so that those patterns stop making your decisions for you and discover new strategies for you to practice.
It will take time and intentional work, and I will support you to get there so that you can live a life that finally feels right to you.
Step 3. Get to work
You don’t have to hold on to what helped you in the past if it no longer fits your life now.
Let's build a life that aligns with who you are today.
